Singleton, 24, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Kevin Clash, the voice of Sesame Street's "Elmo" character, accusing Clash of engaging in sexual behavior with him over a two-week period while he was underage. Clash resigned Tuesday from “Sesame Street” amid a second allegation that he sexually abused underage boys. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
